Hip Impingement also known as pain in the front of the hip when moving the leg and especially bringing the knee towards the chest is problematic for many reasons. The closing on the joint space can lead to compression, pain, and tightness.
Using the monster band to perform distraction is a great way to get a more effective stretch for the joint capsule.
This is a great technique to improve hip motion, decrease hip pain, improve guard retention, and improve overall healthy hip function.
